The museum collection includes over 25,000 works spanning from ancient Egyptian artifacts of 3000 BCE to contemporary art, covering European painting, American art, Asian art, African art, and modern and contemporary art. The most famous is the Wendy and Emery Reves collection of ancient American art, one of the world's most important pre-Columbian art collections.
